‘The Devil’s Been Busy’ is the fourth song on Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.

The lead vocals are shared by all four members of the group, with Bob Dylan singing the bridge.

George Harrison plays a sitar doubled with slide guitar.

A couple of the verses are sort of serious until Boo comes in, and then it lightens up again.
